Tournament Details
Our Pre-Summer Showdown Soccer Tournament has been taking place in Tempe for the past several years. We might run the tournament in other nearby cities with the goal finding some central, quality, fields. Yet the plan of the tournament is to get people plenty of soccer playing time in a good flowing format.
Our tournaments are designed to allow people to play soccer in the morning and early afternoon while giving people the afternoon to spend with their families and friends. We typically have groups play at one time. One group will start play at 8:00am and another group will start play at 9:00am. Then alternate start times throughout the day giving every team roughly 50 minutes of rest between matches.
We do advise teams to bring a light snack because the tourney will take around four or five hours to complete. There's only a limited time between matches so it will be hard to grab a bite away from the field.
2015 Champions!

I don't think you guys realize how much I love this outfit!! Even thought it was literally 100 degrees and I had the ability to wear a hat and a jersey I would go to great measures for a cute outfit, yes my obsession is that serious!!
The jersey is from Forever 21 of course and it so light fitted but thick, if your eye brows furrowed I totally understand. I am trying to go for a whole street style look and I think I am pulling it off. The hat I am wearing this is literally perfect and the detailing is beautiful!!

Give Oates a break
We learn a great deal about a team's character by the way it handles itself in difficult times. You can use the same measure to judge fans.
One has to wonder about the character of those who are calling the talk shows and writing letters to The Sun to demand the firing of Johnny Oates because of the Orioles' slow start. The suggestion itself is absurd. To make it before Memorial Day is ludicrous. Perhaps these disgruntled fans, some of whom probably called for Earl Weaver's head during his teams' mediocre Aprils, should consider the following truths:

About 3.5 hours of homework a day for high schoolers? That's too much by Karin Klein (LA Times)
Equitable, Purposeful Homework by Jennifer Orr (ASCD). "One of the reasons homework is such a contentious topic is that there are so many factors to consider," writes educator Jennifer Orr. In her recent ASCD Express article, Orr discusses some of the factors to consider when assigning homework, including equity, purpose and creativity. She encourages educators to think outside the traditional realm of homework assignments while focusing on what will be purposeful and fair to all students.
Homework in Elementary School Divides Educators by Kristie Chua (Education Week). Students in middle and high school are being assigned about the same amount of homework today as they were in 1984, but the load for elementary-school students has increased, according to a Brookings Brown Center study. One elementary school in Chicago is replacing homework in certain grades with PDF -- play, downtime and family time.

Why you shouldn't help your kids with their homework by A. Pawlowski (TODAY)
Funny homework answers from kids by Livia Gamble (Essential Kids). There's no beating around the bush with these kids, from cute and funny to the honest truth, here are some funny homework answers as written by children. Despite most of these being marked as wrong, we think they deserve points for trying. Click through the gallery above for 26 hilarious homework answers from kids.
Strategies that make learning last by Daniel T. Willingham (ASCD). In this October Educational Leadership article, professor Daniel Willingham discusses four useful study techniques, each with a substantial research base of both laboratory and classroom studies: elaborative interrogation and self-explanation, distributed practice, interleaved practice, and practice testing. He cautions readers to capitalize on research findings to improve their practice, but always temper the findings with professional experience for use in the classroom.
Studying for the Test by Taking It by Benedict Carey (NY Times). Homework assignments in which students study mixed-sets of skills may help boost student performance on tests, according to a recent study. Students using a mixed-set model were able to solve 72% of the items on a surprise test, while students using a more traditional method -- one in which they studied skills in isolation -- solved 38% of the problems.

Have you ever encountered a situation when you have forgotten the password to your Microsoft Excel file that you've set to open your most important file? or You just simply want to crack open your enemie's password protected Excel file. There is a way, actually.
The password that I'm talking about is the password set to open the file itself, not the worksheet protection password which is easier to crack.
The only way to crack open this file is by using a cracking software. The software that I used is called Passware Password Recovery Kit. There are plenty of other software in the market but this one is the one I use and it is proven to work, especially if the file is from MS Excel version 2003 and below.
Using the file is easy. Just choose Recover File Password and choose the file.. and taraa.. it's there already…
However, it will be harder to crack Excel 2007 and higher because Microsoft using encryption..
If you need assistance for a very small fee, you can send me the file to email@example.com and I will try to crack the file for you. If successful, I will inform you how to pay then I'll reveal the password to you. Peace of mind..at your service.

Obama's Pastor Wright: "Italians Look Down Their Garlic Noses… Jesus Got Public Lynching Italian Style"
Obama's Preacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright shores up the Italian vote:
"Italians Look Down Their Garlic Noses– Gave Jesus Public Lynching Italian Style"
In the latest Trumpet Magazine the Rev. Jeremiah Wright teaches his flock about the history of the crucifixion of Jesus.
It was a wonderful eulogy by the Reverend.
CNS News reported on the latest article by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright in the Trinity United Church of Christ's Trumpet magazine:
Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., pastor emeritus of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago where Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has been a member for two decades, slurred Italians in a piece published in the most recent issue of Trumpet Newsmagazine.
"(Jesus') enemies had their opinion about Him," Wright wrote in a eulogy of the late scholar Asa Hilliard in the November/December 2007 issue. "The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans."
Wright continued, "From the circumstances surrounding Jesus' birth (in a barn in a township that was under the Apartheid Roman government that said his daddy had to be in), up to and including the circumstances surrounding Jesus' death on a cross, a Roman cross, public lynching Italian style. …
"He refused to be defined by others and Dr. Asa Hilliard also refused to be defined by others. The government runs everything from the White House to the schoolhouse, from the Capitol to the Klan, white supremacy is clearly in charge, but Asa, like Jesus, refused to be defined by an oppressive government because Asa got his identity from an Omnipotent God."
Don't even say it… Barack missed this edition of the newsletter, too.
Tom Maguire has the latest Obama bashing.

Pet Hair Design Studio

Cherryville, NC 28021
Mon: 8:00AM - 4:00PM
Tue: By appointment only
Wed - Fri: 8:00AM - 4:00PM
Sat: By appointment only
Sun: Closed
Pet hair design studio is unlike any other pet spa in the area: Selina takes the time to get to know her clients and determine each pet's needs. She works one-on-one with each pet to ensure a safe, clean, and happy experience for you and your pet! She offers a complete line of fine grooming services to bring out the best of appearance and personality in any breed. She works carefully, never rushing or overbooking appointments. Selina always takes the time to do it right. In 2013, Selina took a leap of faith and opened her own business. With over 20 years in the professional grooming industry, both in corporate salons and private shops, she had seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Selina wanted to do things differently. "I wanted to create a shop where I could spend the time to work with pets that needed to be cared for with a caring and gentle approach. It's especially rewarding to work with a pet who is scared and gain their trust so their grooming experience is positive. Grooming dogs for The Blind Dog Rescue is also very meaningful to me. I love my job and all my furry clients! As a child I wanted to be a veterinarian; so, I attended a 2 year animal care program in high school where I learned to groom dogs and I fell in love with it! I have a true passion for pet grooming. I attend yearly training seminars to stay current and up to date on my skills. At home, I have 3 poodles and 3 boys that keep me busy. If not for my wonderful supportive husband, this dream would have never come true." Well-groomed pets are happier, better behaved, healthier, and more outgoing. Just like all of us, they feel good when they look good. Grooming is not a luxury but an important part of a pet's care routine. The groomer gets down to the skin and often sees problems and issues that owners often miss or overlook: Mats can cause pain to the pet; dirty ears increase the chance of infection or blockage; and parasites, such as fleas, can infest a pet if left unchecked. Regular grooming can prevent all these problems.

My dogs, 2 Great Pyrenees, and 1 Bichon, love Pet Hair Design Studio! They are happy to go and happy when they are finished. And when they come back they still remember it as a good place. For these dogs to be happy going into the building says something important - that they were treated kindly and well by the people at Pet Hair Design Studio! The groomers, did a great job; the Great Pyrenees are hard to groom because they have so much fur, but they always look fantastic! And the little Bichon has diabetes and is 12 years old. He looks wonderful when he comes out and is happy! I can't say enough good things about them - except thank you for your hard work and kindness to my beloved dogs!

Carbohydrates are organic molecules constructed in the ratio
(CH2O)n in a variety of lengths and shapes. Carbohydrates
are the body's preferred source of energy; the other
potential energy sources being proteins and fats. Carbohydrates
are broken down in the body into sugars, starches, and fiber.
The sugars are known as simple carbohydrates, and the starches
and fiber are known as complex carbohydrates. (Alcohol is
also considered a class of carbohydrates but will not be discussed
in this section.)
Carbohydrates perform three important functions in the body:
Forty-five to sixty-five percent of calories should come
from complex carbohydrates. Preferred carbohydrate sources
include vegetables, fruits, grains and grain products, legumes,
and dairy products. Current recommendations suggest half of
all grain and grain products consumed should be whole grains.

Ages 4 - 5
2018 Price:
5 Day Week - $160

A nature program just for the little ones!
Early experiences in nature are essential for healthy development. Each day begins with story and play time in the Sasamite Village which kicks-off a theme for the day. Each day presents new adventures, whether it be time in the woods or time in the water. The Sasamite Nature Club is a play based learning program, focused on providing positive outdoor experiences for young children. While it has a schedule full of arts and crafts, games and camp activities, the campers set the pace for the day. If slug hunting is what catches campers attention that day, then time will be made for some slug hunting!
With a staff ratio of 4:1, this is the perfect way to assist your little one to socialize and to introduce them to nature in a safe and fun environment.
Each daily session is 3.5 hours long running over the lunch hours. Sasamite Nature Club has it own unique start and finish time to allow for a less hectic transition, one which avoids the busyness of regular day camp programs and buses.
Sasamite Nature Club runs Monday to Friday, and is day program operating from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each day.
Summer 2018 Camp Dates
Week #1: July 2-6, 2018

Programs and activites are geared to the age, abilities and interests of individual, as well as the group.
Transportation is not provided for the Sasamite Nature Club. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of the program and arrive on time for pick up.
If your camper has a difficult time with saying good-bye to you, or perhaps you have a difficult time saying good-bye to your son or daughter, we recommend a quick and timely drop-off. Our experience has taught us that prolonged good-byes increase camper anxiety levels around separation. When you arrive, Sasamite staff will introduce themselves immediately to your camper, as well as other group members, and then get to work engaging your child in an arts and crafts activity while they wait for everyone to arrive. Your help with making this an easy transition is greatly appreciated.

The benefits of commercial solar and commercial energy storage for Australian businesses are becoming harder to ignore. With energy contracts virtually doubling their existing rates, it's critical for commercial business operators to investigate how renewable energy costs and options compare to traditional energy costs.
In parts 1 and 2 of our Renewable Energy Options for Commercial Business Operators and Landlords series, Richard Turner, Founder and Director of Innovation at ZEN Energy, covered the benefits that commercial landlords and businesses, both tenants and owner-occupiers, can achieve by investing in solar energy.
Read Part 1: Commercial Renewable Energy Series: Owner-Occupiers
Read Part 2: Commercial Renewable Energy Series: Landlords and Tenants
In part 3 below, the final part of this series, Richard Turner takes us through learning more about the two components of a commercial electricity bill, and how to integrate smart commercial energy storage to lower your electricity bills. With smart batteries that can predict energy usage, there's more than one way for commercial businesses to benefit from this game changing technology.
How your commercial electricity bill is calculated
Your commercial electricity bill has two distinct components that can be almost equal in terms of the dollar value – the volumetric charge and the demand charge.
The volumetric charge accounts for how much power is consumed by the site direct from the electricity grid, and is normally measured in kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy. This is the component of the bill that you can manage through installing solar, as solar will reduce the overall amount of energy that the site consumes from the grid.
The demand charge is different, and is related to the size of supply needed for you to maintain activity at your business' peak times of energy consumption. These peaks in demand can quite often occur early in the morning when machinery is starting up, or late in the afternoon or evening if a second shift is active.
Many commercial and industrial users find that a large portion of energy bill costs are due to these costly peak demand charges. In most circumstances, businesses have little control over their peak demand other than to curtail or completely stop production, significantly restricting how owners and managers can control rising energy costs.
While solar on its own will generally have some impact on these peaks in demand, it should never be relied on for such savings and shouldn't be factored into any savings profile. However, smart energy storage changes all of this.
How smart energy storage impacts your peak demand and unlocks the true value of stored energy
By combining large amounts of stored energy from inexpensive off-peak and renewable sources with smart technology that can forecast your energy usage and optimise how the stored energy is used, businesses can use their own stored energy instead of the grid during peak demand times. These 'peak shaving' events give businesses complete control over their electricity usage needs from their retailer, lowering their peak demand charges and providing real relief from escalating energy costs.
Smart energy storage enables you to unlock the true value of stored energy using real-time analytics that help you make informed decisions about the time and duration of your energy use. You receive alerts when your site consumption is approaching a threshold peak, when electricity prices are rising, or if weather is likely to impact energy prices in the coming days.
This type of automation makes electrical load management a seamless part of business operations, allowing you to schedule and optimise equipment based on time of year, local climate and electricity prices.
This opportunity for smart energy storage opens a whole new range of opportunities for commercial businesses to reduce energy costs, take a firm 'energy position' for the longer term, and maintain or even increase their market competitiveness.
This is the future of commercial energy storage, and ZEN Energy can help businesses achieve it.
With over 10 years experience helping Australian businesses realise their renewable energy potential, ZEN Energy is at the forefront of these technologies. We have a full technology pathway from commercial solar energy and commercial energy storage through to demand management and a balance of power supply capability, so you can be confident that your ZEN Energy commercial energy storage solution is designed using the latest technology to meet your goals and requirements.
With every commercial client, ZEN offers:
ZEN Energy offers not only quality products and world leading components, but also quality installation. All ZEN systems are expertly installed by Clean Energy Council accredited electricians for efficiency and reliability.

Not only will your commercial energy solution be designed specifically for your site, but will also be grounded in technical knowledge, ZEN's engineering capacity, and our years of experience across Australia.
Through understanding your existing and forecasted energy consumption patterns ZEN can design, install, commission, and maintain a tailored solution for your business.

Jet Art Aviation
Based in Yorkshire, Jet Art Aviation specialise in the supply of ex-military aircraft, museum aircraft, aircraft engines, cockpit sections, ejector seats, aircraft spares, movie props and collectables.
They are also a specialist disposal contractor for aircraft/aircraft parts; undertake aircraft/component restoration work, aircraft engineering, aircraft transportation and logistical work to individual customer requirements. They aim to provide a unique service by offering a combination of items and services which you just can't get anywhere else.
When we spoke to Jet Art Aviation they kindly gave us some information about a few of their aircraft that have been restored. We thought the best way to show you what they do is to show case their aircraft and stories written from their own words so, here goes.
To begin with we shall look at the pictured Harrier GR3 XZ130 and then we shall take a look at the Tornado F2A ZD902 before finishing off with my favourite, the F104 Starfighter. I must stress that all information has been taken from Jet Art Aviation Website and through communication with their staff.
Harrier GR3 XZ130
1980. After months of deteriorating relationships between NATO and the Soviet Union and escalating skirmishes on the border between East and West Germany the USSR began amassing tank and mechanised infantry divisions at strategic locations all along the border. Eventually the unthinkable happened and the Cold War became hot. On the 8th May thousands of tanks and APCs punched through the lightly defended border positions and began a breakout across the Northern German Plain. The horde of T72s, T64s and T62s formed the seemingly unstoppable armoured fist that the Western powers had feared ever since the closing days of WW2.
On the run up to the beginning of the war RAF Germany had dispersed its Harrier squadrons from Gutersloh and Wildenrath to forward locations and now they found themselves at the very tip of NATO's attempts to halt the Soviet armoured thrust. Whilst fighters fought desperate air battles high above them the GR3s carried out wave after wave of sorties to destroy AFVs with rockets and bombs. The missions are brief but intense and casualty rates are high. Crews are flying multiple missions per day, their V/STOL capabilities are critical because it allows them to fly three missions for every one by ground attack aircraft based further away from the front line. Time and time again front line troops are saved from being overrun by prompt intervention by the RAF GR3s. …
Thankfully this scenario never played out but although the GR3 didn't go up against Warsaw Pact forces it did go to war in the Falklands, as well as deployments to other locations such as Germany, Norway and Belize. Our example saw service with 4 squadron in Germany, as well as 1 sqn, 3 sqn, 233 OCU and 1453 Flight in the Falklands. After leaving service the aircraft ended up in spending 15 years at RAF Number 1 school of Technical Training being manhandled by young recruits such as our very own Managing Director Chris before finally ending up sitting outside London Air Cadet Squadron. When we took ownership XZ130 was in surprisingly good condition considering all that time sat out in the elements but has nevertheless been the subject of an 18 month, 2000 hour restoration by Jet Art Aviation. We have carried out a full repaint in a beautiful gloss finish and applied the same markings she had when last in service with 4 squadron, complete with yellow lightning flash, red and black fin and ex USAF exchange pilot Captain L Y Ching's name down the side of the cockpit. But the result is not just cosmetically pristine, this machine is alive. Just as much effort has gone into sourcing all the missing components and making her mechanically complete as went into that stunning external finish.
In March 2016 we carried out a successful ground run and systems check which included starting up the Rolls Royce Pegasus for the first time in 25 years! The engine and APU had been coated in preservative oils and once this burnt off the engine ran perfectly and was taken up to 35% thrust for several minutes – we even operated the variable incidence nozzles. We shared this moment of glory on various social media sites and the response was incredible (30k hits within 24 hours and now well over 100k) which once again proves just how popular the Harrier is around the world.
XZ130 is now available for sale and we believe this is the first time anyone has put a Harrier GR3 of this calibre on the open market. As you may have seen in our recent social media updates this is Jet Art Aviation's 10 year anniversary and XZ130, our most in depth and ambitious project, is a fitting milestone achievement for a company that has developed a long standing association with the Harrier. This is the latest in a long line of restorations that Jet Art has carried out and we are proud of every single aircraft project we've completed but XZ130 really is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own an incredible piece of British aviation history in ground running condition.
Tornado F2A ZD902
December saw an exciting new addition to the Jet Art stable. Our mission was to dismantle, load, extract and transport 250 miles by road our latest acquisition; the pristine Tornado F2A ZD902 also known as 'TIARA' (Tornado Integrated Avionics Research Aircraft). I don't know about you but for starters the name Tiara is certainly doing it for me! TIARA is a very special and rare variant Tornado, the trials work she conducted contributed hugely to avionics evaluation and development for a host of aircraft such as the Sea Harrier, Eurofighter and Tornado as well as testing exciting new technology in experimental trials such as airborne control of UAVs. More about her history later but it's safe to say she did great things!
RB199 Afterburning Turbofan engines installed. The best and most unusual thing about our new arrival is that she is basically complete, in superb condition with ridiculously low airframe hours. Yes that's engines installed, APU, Gearboxes, Avionics, Hydraulics etc. The Cockpit is also in superb order kitted out with state of the art avionics having been modified with 3x multi-function displays and a holographic head up display. No other Tornado has a cockpit like it, this is one of a kind – unique.
First flown in 1984 and delivered to the Royal Air Force -as a F2 specification Tornado ADV (Air Defence Variant) she was one of only 18 F2s built. Rare then you might say but it does not stop there. These 18 F2 Tornados were scheduled for upgrade to F2A standard which was in essence the F3 but with the older RB.199 103 engines (same as the ones used in the original GR1 ground attack version) but in the end only ZD902 airframe was converted making this the only F2A variant in the world. With the majority of ADV Tornado aircraft being 'reduced to produced' spare parts and in essence corporately scrapped this jet is now an endangered species as far as aircraft preservation goes and a real rare beastie bound to have serious investment value for the future. What you are looking at in all seriousness is basically the last virtually complete RAF Tornado ADV in existence. The end of an era it may be but this beautiful aircraft is now out of captivity, in private hands and available for sale.
Ummmm I hear you say…..cancel the Bugatti Veyron order.
Please check their website out to learn more about this aircraft.
Starfighter F104G
Finally, I'd like to take a quick look at a project undertaken by Jet Art Aviation in July 2011. As far as SBT are aware, this was a bit of a 'buy on impulse' aircraft as they had very little experience in this type of aircraft. They eventually sold the aircraft to a buyer in Taiwan late that year.
The aircraft you see in the photo has the Luftwaffe markings. The German Luftwaffe used the Starfighter in many roles during the 1970's from attack, interceptor and neclear fighter/ bomber wings. In fact the Luftwaffe actually operated around 35% of F104 starfighters built.
The F104G project taken on by Jet Art Aviation was the aircraft that really caught my eye. It's beautiful, sleek, missile look really captures the developing Jets of the Cold War.
In summary, what can we say about Jet Art Aviation. Only that I am extremely jealous of these guys playing around with incredible aircraft everyday. Seriously, they do an awesome job of restoring these iconic aircraft to their true glory. Their website is definately worth checking out to find out more about their work.
Finally, we would like to thank Jet Art Aviation in allowing us to feature them in the magazine. In particular, I would personally like to thank Cameron Wingate for his kindness and communication at a particularly busy period.
If any one wants to know what to buy me for my birthday, looking below could give you some idea's!!

In the second post of 'Under the hood', I'll explain how our current login system works and how you can use it. This is mainly interesting if you want to know how to get API-access to recourses which need a login in the future.
First a bit about the overall architecture.
Loklak uses an embedded Jetty HTTP server. It works fundamentaly different than for example, an Apache server with PHP.
Like in Apache, you can have a folder with static content, like hmtl, css and js files, which just get displayed. But for dynamic output, you don't have just java-class-files in the same folder, which get interpretated on the fly like php-files do.
Instead we register so called servlets on the server before we start it. This servlets are java classes which get a http-request as input and send a response at the end. All classes in the api-packages are such servlets.
So the idea is to create a so called AAA-system:
- Authentication (who are you?)
- Authorization (what are you allowed to do?)
- Accounting (what/how much did you do already?)
As of now, only the authentication part is ready to use, authorization will follow soon (hopefully early next week)
To make it easy for the servlets have access to that system, Michael created an abstract class called AbstactAPIHandler. This class is meant to contain all common code the servlets need, which in turn extend this class to implement the actual functionality.
So what does it offer so far? Well, as of the authentication, there's alot of different use cases how we want to be able to authenticate a user:
- Login via a user id and a password
- For browsers: sessions and cookies, so the user stays logged in over multiple requests
- For api-access and links: access tokens
- Login via a key-pair (not yet implemented)
1., to 3. are implemented and ready to use. Here's how:
User id and password
Just add
[email protected]&password=123456
to a request to any sevlet extending AbstractAPIHandler. This will log you in as the user [email protected]
As we want to use this for browser logins and logins via other tools (for example curl), this does not create a session. A session means the server remembers you over multiple calls. We don't want that for pure API calls, as APIs are better stateless, that means all calls are independent from each other.
Sessions and Cookies
If you use a browser, you probably want to do the login only once. Afterwards, your browser and the server should remember each other.
There are two different ways to archive that:
- Sessions, which are short-lived and forgotten as soon as either the browser or the server shuts down
- Cookies, which can live for a longer time and survice restarts (in the moment, server restarts also remove them, but this will change in the future)
Technically, these are very similar, but a bit different in how we have to use them.
Anyhow, you can request a session or a cookie with:
respectively. Cookie currently expire after one week if not used.
In some use-cases you might want to log in without appending you password each time. For example you want to create link which logs a user in (this is done with the email validation link).
Or you want stateles API-access via a public-private key login (which is somewhat slow).
Then it's useful to create a access-token. Currently you can do so by calling handshake-client.json. An example:
domain.com/api/[email protected]&password=123456&valid_seconds=3600
This returns a access-token for the user [email protected] with a livetime of one hour. You can then use that token to make further queries:
That's it for the login, but I'll add more as soon as public-private-key login is ready.

|Introduction to Credit
Share |
Provided by the Credit Issues Projects of the Young Lawyers Division of The Virginia Bar Association
What are credit and debt?
Credit is the ability to borrow money.
Debt is the money you owe someone else.
Having the ability to borrow money allows you to make large purchases without having to save the money to pay on the spot. Most young people don't have $10,000 in savings to buy a car, but with credit they can borrow that money and agree to a timeline to repay it with interest.
To borrow money from others, a lender will want to know the risk involved. A credit report is an accurate way for lenders to get the information they need to determine that risk. Credit reports are issued by several agencies. The major three are Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Each of them receives information from lenders and collects information from public records.
A credit report contains information on your:
Types of information not included are income, account balances, medical information, or race/gender/religion/ nationality. The credit report also includes your credit score.
A credit score is a number provided by credit reporting agencies that helps lenders determine the terms (amount, payment, interest rate, etc.) of lending money. There are two types of scores: FICO Score and VantageScore. A FICO Score ranges from 300 to 850 and is the main score used by lenders. A VantageScore is a newer model ranging from 501 to 990 with a letter grade (A through F). A higher number is a better score.
Get your credit score
The three agencies report your score upon request. Each year you can request one free report. Each additional report likely will cost money. Additionally, if you have a credit card, you may be able to track your score through its services free of charge.
Create a budget
What are your goals? Whatever you want to do with your money, take a few minutes to figure out how much it will cost and how much you'll need to save.Take a look at your income and expenses (rent, gas, car maintenance, food, etc.) as well as taxes and insurance. Be conservative in determining how much you're really making to reach your goal.
Improving and building credit
Everyone starts with no credit, so to build credit you need to borrow. Talk to a family member or another responsible adult about getting a credit card or secured card. The Credit CARD Act bans credit card approvals for anyone under 21 years old without a co-signer or proof of sufficient income. Before you get a card, make sure you can pay what is due. Missing a payment will show on your report for a long time.It may seem obvious, but the best way to improve your credit is to pay off your debts. If you have a credit card, paying the full balance instead of the minimum will help build credit and allow you to avoid interest fees. A late or missed payment will decrease your credit score and cost you late fees and interest.
Keep track of your credit score and review your statements.Too many lines of credit (for example, credit cards) can have a negative impact on your credit, if there is a balance on them. It is better to have just two to three credit cards and manage them responsibly.
Example of the impact of interest
When considering a credit card, it's important to read the fine print. The offers made generally are temporary, meaning the terms will change after a relatively short time.
For example, you may see an offer for 0% APR (Annual Percentage Rate) for 1 year. This means that the amount owed will not be charged interest fees for 12 months. However, after the year, the rate will increase. The average APR for new credit cards is around 16%, as of September 2017.
Say you bought a new TV for $500 on your new card. You plan to pay it off with $30 per month. After 12 months of no interest, the balance would be $140. The next month, after the $30 payment, the balance would be $132. The next month would be $123. This extends the time to completely pay off the balance by several months and adds roughly $100 (20%) to your overall cost for the TV.

Monarch Trail is a 4 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Lone Tree, Colorado that features a great forest setting and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from April until September.
mountain biking
nature trips
no dogs
Private trail for Highlands Ranch residents, heavily used by mountain bikers. Empty scrubland with no interesting terrain, views or features. You can do MUCH better in the Denver area, from Castlewood Canyon to almost anything in the foothills or beyond.
Was hoping to do this one for a trail run today but it is a private area, only open to residents of Highlands Ranch. There were also signs for no dogs on the trail. It was a bummer because the area looks beautiful but be aware if you are from outside the area and/or if you have a pup with you

Red White and BLUE
I've knit something with some blue to it for the first time in a while! It's the My So-Called Scarf
in Berrocco's Hip Hop in the Karaoke color-way. I had enough to put together a very basic hat that I made up as I went along... I like to call it my Quick-and-Dirty hat. It took about an hour to figure out how I wanted to make this-- it's basically a triangle.
I love the grunge-y look-- which I've grown out of but am always reminded of when I think of the "My So-Called Life" drama-- which happens every time I think to knit the My So-Called Scarf.
On the politics front, I just wanted to add that this Petreus stuff, and all of the congressional discussions and pundit-speak since has been a total farce! It's definitely time for a change in the administration.

Greetings, and thanks so much for supporting this new podcast venture of mine. You'll doubtless notice that I have placed Google AdSense ads to this site. I wanted to explain that decision.
I've been podcasting for nearly four years, and have always been happy to foot the cost of bandwidth, domains, and audio equipment. But when I launched this show, and begain to buy apps I wanted to review from the App Store, I realized that I might be tempted to save a little money by reviewing more free apps than pay ones. That isn't very helpful to listeners who can easily download and evaluate the free apps for themselves. You need to know whether the app you're considering is worth the $1, $2, $5, or $10 the developer wants for it. So, in order to ease the expense for myself, and to overcome my naturally cheap nature, I've decided to try site advertising as a means of making these apps pay for themselves. If you have feedback about the ads, leave it here in the comments. I've also considered adding a donation button, though I'm a little squeamish about that one. At least, for now.
Thanks again for listening. I'll have another episode up this weekend.

Prize Bingo Night 31/08/12
The Day Centre had a bingo night with raffle on August 31st. This was held in aid of the Day Centre itself to bring in much needed funds. Doors opened at 6.30pm and it was eyes down at 7pm. The cost was a very reasonable £4 for six books and £1 for the flyer ticket, the raffle was £1 per strip with, handily, five different colours to choose from. A night's entertainment for only ten pounds, that's good value.
Various prizes were there to be won, in no particular order, kitchen knife set, glass work top saver, box of 24 greetings cards with a pen, basket of fruit, large washing powder and softener, mens Guinness pyjamas and slippers, vegetable box, towel bale with soap, large jar of coffee and large box of tea with 4 mugs, 12 cans Tennents lager, a wire basket full of hair products, pair of table lamps, a tin of celebrations chocolates and vouchers from both Tesco and Morrisons. There was NO cuddly toy. Really there was something for everyone. After the first four houses were won it was tea and coffee time, or juice for the younger players. Empire biscuits and doughnuts were the order of the day made freshly in the kitchen. There were a few left so anyone, quick enough, could buy them at a mere twenty pence each. Then it was eyes down for the second half.
The flyer ticket was well worth the pound as the prize for the line was a Nokia mobile phone with £10 credit and the prize for the house was an Anthony Worrall Thompson endorsed food processor. Prizes anyone would be very happy with, the lucky winners were Donnie McKie for the line and Marion McClorey for the house.
Too numerous to mention them all, were the raffle prizes, which ranged from whisky and wine to ladies leather gloves and pictures, with sweets and cuddly toys and a large basket of beautiful toiletries.
The total raised for the Day Centre was £908.30. So all that's left to say is a great big thank you to everyone who took the time to come along and make it an enjoyable evening and to everyone who kindly donated a prize for the raffle. Also a thank you to the Day Centre staff who gave their free time.

Psychiatric genetics Lab
Our lab is interested in deciphering the molecular basis of mood and anxiety disorders. By combining psychiatric genetics, molecular pharmacology and transgenic animal models, we pursue aims focused toward unraveling the role of neurotransmitter system components implicated in these diseases. Our main goal is to identify novel targets for treatment of these devastating disorders that dramatically impact our health system and quality of life worldwide.
In our psychiatric genetics studies, we search for gene variants associated with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders, Bipolar Disorder, Tourette Disorder, Schizophrenia and Epilepsy. We perform genotyping and functional studies of novel genetic variants. We follow both classic targets in monoamine neurotransmitter systems as well as novel gene candidates. We are also interested in epigenetic and transcriptome analyses. We also perform behavioral genetics to characterize in vivo novel candidate genes using animal models. Using transgenic technology and viral vectors, we manipulate genes in specific neuronal types and/or brain regions, and extensively characterize these models by behavioral phenotyping, molecular and neurochemical approaches. One of our current major efforts is to understand the role of novel candidate genes in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Bipolar Disorder, and how altered expression levels affect brain circuits at neurochemical and behavioral level.

As a kid, Nigerian-born photographer Mikael Chukwuma Owunna knew of no other LGBTQ Africans personally, and he saw none represented in popular culture or mainstream media. His family and community hardly spoke of people being queer, and when they did, the tone was nearly always one of disdain.
?Growing up being queer and Nigerian, I felt like I could not exist,? Owunna told HuffPost.
The artist was 15 years old, living in the United States, when he was outed as gay to his family, who blamed America and Western culture for his sexual identity. They proposed he return to Nigeria twice a year, hoping the culture would ?cure? Owunna of his desire.
?They thought that since being gay was ?un-African,? re-exposing me to my culture would drive the gay out of me,? he said.
Three and a half years ago, Owunna decided to respond to this injurious claim ? that queerness and African-ness can not and do not overlap ? by capturing portraits of individuals who are proudly both African and queer, gay or transgender. ?I?ve been fighting to reclaim these two parts of my identity for myself,? he explained. ?To create a queer African home for myself and others where we can be LGBTQ, African and whole.?
The series, called ?Limit(less),? is part? anthropological study and part? street style shoot, aiming to capture, as Owunna put it, what LGBTQ African immigrants look like when they feel free. It features 34 portraits, mostly taken in North America, each accompanied by an interview that probes deeply into the life and personal style of the subject.
In part, the work is inspired by a photo series by South African photographer Zanele Muholi called ?Faces & Phases,? which Owunna saw at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh. The images depict black lesbians based in South Africa, their faces boldly featured against plain walls or patterned backdrops. ?Seeing that work, I was so incredibly moved,? Owunna said. ?Especially coming from my own experience of feeling completely invisible and erased as a queer African person.?
With ?Limit(less),? Owunna attempts to challenge the binary understanding that sets queerness at odds with the African identity. Yet it was important to him that the project not cast homophobia as something innately African. The ignorance and hatred many young, queer Africans now face, Owunna explained, stems from the legacy of European colonialism, which, he said, ?has brainwashed us to believe that being LGBTQ is somehow against our indigenous cultural identities.?
Owunna cited Queen Anna Nzinga ? a 17th-century African leader who insisted that the male harem who served her dress in women?s clothing ? as an example of Africa?s early openness in regard to gender expression.
Since Owunna had only met two other LGBTQ Africans in his entire life, he located the majority of his subjects on social media. When a potential subject expressed interest, Owunna reached out for a phone or Skype conversation, during which he would explain the concept of his work in full.
Most importantly, he ensured the subjects were entirely comfortable participating in such a visible project, given the potential safety concerns that could arise as a result. ?Even though we live in diaspora, there are still very real fears and dangers for us as LGBTQ African people both inside and outside of our communities,? he said.
The photographer then flew to visit each subject and spent the weekend in his, her or their home, spending a day getting to know each other before actually starting the shoot. The participants were also given interview questions beforehand regarding their personal style, their relationship with their families and what they might say to people who think being LGBTQ is ?un-African??
The subjects? written responses are as compelling and moving as the images themselves.
Em, a genderqueer Nigerian living in America, responded to the last question above with: ?You?re un-African for believing that all Africans are this monolithic group of people, cis and heteronormative. We are dynamic, bold, and beautiful and queer. Our Africanness is only stronger with this identity because every day we breathe, especially for African trans folk, we are resisting and revolutionary. That?s pretty damn African to me.?
While fashion is seen by some as frivolous or superficial, Owunna?s subjects and their thoughtful answers illuminate how clothing can not only express identity but inform it. Netsie, a queer Ethiopian-Namibian woman in America, described how her personal style rejects the roles often foisted upon women of color.
?From a young age, women are taught that they have no choice in who looks at them, and so often, we are held responsible for what other people perceive,? Netsie said. ?We are taught to be presentable, not just for business meetings, but potential friends, mates and assaulters. At the same time, we are taught never to look threatening, or look back at the people looking at us. We are denied the verb, and forced into the noun. Fuck that. I?m a hard femme with an hourglass silhouette, a goodwill budget, and a firm grasp of anti-capitalist rhetoric. I wear whatever makes me feel comfortable and powerful and safe.?
Reactions to ?Limit(less),? Owunna told HuffPost, have been overwhelmingly positive, especially from LGBTQ African immigrants themselves. ?I feel like there is such a hunger for us to see ourselves and people like us,? the artist said. ?And to especially see other LGBTQ African people in a space of empowerment, loving ourselves.?
Owunna?s contributions to visualizing a population that has for too long gone unrepresented are staggering, and he is not slowing down anytime soon. The artist is en route to creating the largest digital archive of LGBTQ African immigrant narratives in existence. Having worked primarily in North America so far, he?s headed to Europe ? home to over 6 million African immigrants.
The artist is currently raising funds on Kickstarter to finance his journeys to Belgium, France, Portugal, Sweden and the U.K., gathering more stories and images every stop of the way. To continue the project, he needs $10,000 by June 8 ? at time of publication, he has raised just over $5,000.
Owunna looks forward to growing his archive, finally providing visibility for the next generation growing up African and queer. ?With each click of my camera,? he said, ?I strive to capture my vision of what a free world can look like for black queer and trans people. And to show that this free world already exists inside each and every one of us.?
See more of Owunna?s ?Limit(less)? on the project?s website.

Boss asked Santa
"Where were you born?"
"Which part"
"What which part? " Whole body was born in India."
Boss asked Santa
A retired woman walked to her neighbour rocking on a chair
She asked " You look so HAPPY ,what is the secret of your happy life"
HE replied
"I smoke 3 packs of cigarette a day
drink a case of whiskey a week
eat fatty food and never exercise"
She asked ,"that's amazing. How old are you?"
He replied," Twenty Six"
Somehow we always think we are aging at a slower rate than everyone else, this was true of this older woman who is seeing a doctor for the first time.
She was taken into a room and told to "make herself comfortable." While reading the doctor's diploma on the wall, she realizes that she went to high school with him many years ago.
The doctor enters the room; he is very gray, and slightly bent over from old age, and says "hello, how can I help you?"
The woman asks; "Did you attend Roosevelt High School?"
"Yes I did", the doctor answered.
She asks: "Class of 49?" "Yes I was", was the answered.
The woman was delighted, and said: "You were in my class!"
The doctor responded: "What did you teach?"
Doctor, you were right when you said you'd have me on my feet and walking in no time.
That's good John; when did you start walking?
When I got your bill doctor, I had to sell my car to pay it
Joe was a successful computer programmer and a happy family man. His life was blessed with a loving wife, 2 kids, three cats and a dog. Joe loved taking Rusty the dog for his evening walk and was proud when his son, little Johnny, began asking to go along on Rusty's evening walks.
Little Johnny was an observant and curious child and one evening asked his father: 'Daddy, why does Rusty always sniff that phone pole when we take him for his walk?'
Well, Joe wasn't sure how he should answer his son. How DOES one explain the way animals mark their territory to a 6-year-old?
Stalling for time Joe asked, "What do you think he's doing Johnny?"
Johnny frowned in concentration, then brightened and said, "I know! I Know! He's checking his P-Mail!"
Bob, a 70 year old extremely wealthy widower, shows up at the Country Club with a breathtakingly beautiful and very sexy 25 year-old blonde who knocks everyone's socks off with her youthful sex appeal and charm. She hangs on Bob's arm and listens intently to his every word.
His buddies at the club are all envious. They corner him and ask, "Bob, how'd you get the trophy girlfriend?"
Bob replies, "Girlfriend? She's my wife!"
They're knocked over, but continue to ask. "So, how'd you persuade her to marry you?"
Bob says, "I lied about my age."
His friends are fascinated, "What do you mean? Did you tell her you were only 50?"
Bob smiles and says, "No, I told her I was 90."

Letters to the Editor: Dec. 30
Cops addicted
Regarding the article Pot shop ups security after cops charge staffer again (Dec. 22).
Law enforcement's insistence on continuing its focus on cannabis is music to the ears of those in the illegal hard drug industry. Every second and dollar spent on cannabis is a second and dollar not spent on keeping fentanyl (and worse) out of the wrong hands.
There is a real addiction with cannabis. Unfortunately it is the police who are addicted to making arrests on this low-hanging smelly fruit, rather than put the focus where it is so very badly needed. Because of this unrelenting policing on cannabis, young people are gravitating to dangerous hard drugs which are not so easy to detect. Is there not one single police chief in all of Canada who sees the big picture?

Survey misleads
Regarding the article Muslim children feel targeted by hate (Dec. 27).
I don't buy what this headline is selling. You can't lump all Muslims or Muslim children together. We have 3,000 immigrants a year here in London, mostly Muslim, most from countries where Muslims were fighting Christians (and each other). An imam told me we have to earn their trust, meet them in person. It will take time.
To publish a small survey like this is premature and misleading. Let's publish a survey to measure how many have overcome their fears and feel better about others they don't understand. Or how many "infidels" really want to show love.

Options abound
Regarding the article Bread offer means dough for food bank (Dec. 22).
Thank you for the article regarding donation of Loblaws gift cards to the food bank. I support the notion, but point out there are several local services that attend to the daily care and survival of London residents who are in need.
While the London Food Bank provides a necessary service, it is not the only charity that could put the gift cards to great use. It would behoove The Free Press to publish a list of all local services so gift-card donors could choose their preferred beneficiaries.

Open your eyes
With the extensive commercialization that couples the Christmas holidays, it is easy to forget not all of our fellow Canadians can afford to take part in the shopping sales, TV specials and festivities.
It is difficult to imagine that some have to decide between keeping a roof over their heads and feeding their children. But this is the unfortunate reality for many Canadians.
Therefore, we should understand our social obligations and not turn a blind eye to vulnerable members of our communities, but rather engage in acts of charity and service.
Whether its through donating canned goods at your local food drive, or clothing, the important lesson is not to be passive bystanders.
As members of a country that prides in providing international aid, we cannot forget about those in our own backyards.

Aid has limits
As I watch a CTV newcast report about Canada's failure to support the refugees of Rohingya, I must point out the West cannot correct all of the problems of the Third World. There is simply not enough money. Thanks to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, this will not be ameliorated anytime soon.
One remedy I wish it was possible to put into place in countless areas such as Rohigya, is birth control measures for these poor women who are shackled with numerous progeny who enter the suffering and chaos innocent of all wrong-doing. Unfortunately, this is no doubt impossible.

Conflicts persist
Once again at year's end I observe via the news the seemingly intensifying global religious and racial unrest — that is, when people are not finding reason to kill each other on a sub-racial or ethnic level, such as with the 1990s Balkans and Rwanda.
I'm increasingly convinced that humankind is overdue for an Independence Day-type alien invasion. It would need to be one in which all of us sub-groups of the human race are essentially forced to unite, attack and defeat the creepy invaders.
Unfortunately, though, it has to be asked: What will happen, say some five decades later, after all signs are long gone of the violent ET invasion we had victoriously overcome, when the politics of scale, to which we humans are so collectively prone, returns to the fore of the human race?
We can be relied upon to inevitably find reason to irreconcilably differ and seriously conflict.

Thanks, London
As the old year comes to a close, and the new year is just opening her possibilities, I can't help but reflect on the love given to me and my kin by our extended London family over these past months.
There are some amazing people out there who have shared their tears, and hopes for a better community. I am proud to be a part of their vision. I won't forget the lives spent, who have flown upwards in their time. Their love will always be cherished.
I also look forward to the coming year, that promises no guarantees, but a combined hope. Our future challenges we take one day at a time, and with our community by our side. I look forward to continued faith in our London, that is shared and grows with every opportunity. To everyone, I wish you peace of mind and love of soul.

Destiny revealed
All Justin Trudeau had to do was support the United States entitlement to relocate its embassy to Jerusalem.
Trudeau's noncommittal in abstaining from the vote at the UN condemning the U.S. has instead sent Canada's message to our Creator indicating we do not support His people's destiny.
Trudeau is also abandoning the courageous stand of our only North American ally and trading partner. Trudeau is clearly revealing his preferred destiny toward securing a seat within the anti-Israel fraternity of the United Nations Security Council, over his obligation to the rich sovereign sanctity of our own homeland and the priceless gift offered to humanity through God's Jewish nation.

Who's deserving?
Regarding E.R. Dow's letter Deter or encourage? (Dec. 27):
The writer states their problem with having safe injection sites, citing "encouraging" the habit, and "depriving more deserving and legitimate" patients from care.
Look at the model of the Vancouver safe injection sites. In the last 15 years, there have been 3.6 million visits to their clinics, with not one overdose death on site. In 2016 alone, thousands of patients who visited were referred to outside social and health services. The clinics are not "encouraging" use. They are meant to serve as a harm reduction strategy, and to help connect the patients with tools for success in the future.
We have universal health care to help all Canadians, regardless of circumstance. There are many factors that make people unhealthy and cause a burden on the health system. What makes any one person more "deserving" of care than another?

Real fans don't cry
Regarding Dan Brown's column The Last Jedi shows its politics, humanity (Dec. 22).
"Diehard" Star Wars fans did not hate The Last Jedi. We saw it for what it was: a continuation of the greatest story in the galaxy.
I am sure some nerds hated it, but those of us who truly love the series understood from the moment Disney took hold of the reigns we would see a shift in the format and politics of the films.
The Force Awakens was a pleasant surprise and most of us were grateful to director J.J. Abrams for sticking to the format. This eased us back into the series again. It felt warm and comfortable.
With The Last Jedi most of us were ready for some change and to see where the story was taking us. We entered the theatre with a jumble of feelings about what we were about to experience and even more questions brought forward by The Force Awakens.
My excitement to see Mark Hamill resume his role as Luke Skywalker was immense. I was not disappointed.
I feel to lump true "diehard" fans in with millennials who protest and petition anything with which they do not agree is insulting. Those of us who truly love the Star Wars movie franchise are willing to enjoy what we get and look forward to the next spinoff film as well as the final instalment of our new trilogy.

Snow job well done
Kudos to Christmas snow removal in London.
It was a valiant effort on behalf of the city works department clearing the snow from sidewalks, side streets and major roads this time around. I was prepared for another battle following the previous storm where our street wasn't cleared for six days. This time around, however, I feel like I'm in London again where resident safely and well-being is a priority and the result was clear roads for travellers and families getting together to celebrate the holiday.
Thank you for your service and keep up the good work.

Give us the facts
Regarding the column The peril of reporting in the age of outrage (Dec. 20).
Between erosion from internet-based "news" and hostility from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump and its supporters, print media are under attack from all sides.
Maybe you could try printing a little less opinion and partisan interpretation. You will never compete with the internet in that arena. Where print media has power and growth potential is using research, fact-checking and editorial oversight to educate a public that is starving for objectivity.
For example, there are a lot of carbon policies proposed by different jurisdictions in Canada; this newspaper has frequently written that cap and trade is a carbon tax by another name. Why not break down each plan objectively, citing credible sources and studies to explain all the pros and cons?

Drugs buy votes
Regarding the article Youth drug plan not a cure-all (Dec. 28).
It is true some medications will not be covered by the Ontario government's new drug plan for individuals 24 years old and younger, but hearing it from a pharmacist seems a bit self-serving. The more medications that are covered, the more money for pharmacies.
The deeper issue is the program is thinly-veiled vote-buying from a government that is in a hopeless death-spiral.
I am sure some Liberal strategist has calculated the number of 19- to 24-year-olds in the province who are not enrolled in a drug plan, and sees them as an opportunity for votes for a party with record-low popularity ratings.
If you think about it, it isn't even all that meaningful. Most young people don't use that many medications; older people do. Let's see a universal program, funded by cutting controversial programs from the fringes of society. Who deserves free needles, junkies or diabetics?
I would ask this of millennial voters: Listen to the opposition parties, and ask questions about the gas plants, the destruction of hard drives, the wind-power fiasco, and other examples of Liberal waste and corruption.

Heroines saluted
My two female heroines this year are Ontario Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk for continuing to resist what I consider to be dishonest and manipulative accounting practices in this province, and Wilfrid Laurier University teaching assistant Lindsay Shepherd, for her courage in attempting to restore academic integrity in post-secondary education, which has clearly lost its way and objectivity.
These stoic women deserve the Order of Canada for their clear moral visions.

True hockey star
Regarding the article Bower a Leafs legend to the end (Dec. 27).
It was with deep sadness I heard of the passing of hockey great Johnny Bower.
He was a true gentleman. He always had time to chat when you met up with him in public and would gladly give you an autograph.
He was a true star on and off the ice. Rest in peace, Johnny.

Make price-fixers feed the North
It is with great disgust that I read major food chains are alleged to have colluded in a price-fix on bread. How despicable is it that they chose bread, the most basic necessit.
I hope the powers that be fine them millions of dollars. But instead of cash, the sentence to should be to feed the North — that is, all Indigenous communities — and supply them with fresh water for the next 10 years.

I am by no means a tidy person. My house is most definitely lived in, I would almost say I was a bit of a hoarder I love being surrounded by all the lovely knick knacks I've gathered over the years, but when we first started weaning I became so OCD about mess, especially the mess Hedd was making. I was shocked by the amount of wasted food that ended up smattered across my living room floor. I was instantly put off Baby-led Weaning and decided to start off with purees, I even convinced myself that Hedd preferred it!
Then, one afternoon Hedd swiped a slice of toast off my plate and I decided to just see what happened. He ate the whole slice without struggling. That's where our journey began.
Then, one afternoon Hedd swiped a slice of toast off my plate and I decided to just see what happened. He ate the whole slice without struggling. That's where our journey began.
For the next six months, food is meant to be fun. Your baby is using this time to explore new flavours and textures and is learning along the way. They will soon be deciding which foods they like and which ones they don't. Don't be disheartened if they pull a funny face (get the camera ready, there hilarious) and spit out everything you give them at first, just keep trying. They're just learning.
To begin with, you won't need to worry about buying bowls, plates or cutlery etc you simply lay the food on the highchair tray table. I looked everywhere to find the perfect highchair, then a friend of mine offered me her grandsons old one and I fell in love with it. It's the cheap as chips Antilop highchair from IKEA and I know the majority of my friends rave about it too. Most of the time I use old vests during mealtimes, it can be a bit of a pain getting him undressed every time he eats but it allows me to relax so he can make as much mess as he likes. I have a tiled floor in the dining area so I don't need to worry about bits dropping on the floor but I have known some Mums use a shower curtain to protect their carpet. For those days when we are out or in a hurry I have bibs with sleeves, which Hedd HATES wearing but they're great for protecting his clothes.
At first, I couldn't imagine myself letting my baby eat a stick of cucumber or a bread stick. I constantly worried he would choke and although I kind of know what to do in an emergency situation I didn't want to put myself in that sort of situation. That was until I read the Baby-led Weaning Handbook. It explains everything I need to know about how your baby uses her gag reflex to naturally learn to chew food before she learns to swallow. I highly recommend you give it a read before you start on your weaning journey.
Let your little one enjoy the mess, make it fun and do not disciple. The most important part of mealtimes is having fun and I encourage the mess now, we laugh and smush things together. Wait until you see you baby handling jelly, it's hilarious.
Have fun and encourage your baby to enjoy food together. I love that we eat the same meals and enjoy them as a family at the table. Over the last few months my diet has improved because now I'm conscious about the things I put in my body. I have found a love for cooking and enjoy planning our meals.
Did you struggle with the mess? Do you have any tips or tricks on making life easier? Do you have any minimal mess meal ideas? Let me know in the comments below.

Highly Skilled Local Plumbers Available in Wellington, Porirua, Upper Hutt, and Lower Hutt
Many aspects need to be properly considered when you're trying to keep your home well-maintained, but one of the most important often goes overlooked. People think about things such as interior design and landscaping because they're intended to give pleasure, but just because a task isn't necessarily enjoyable doesn't mean it isn't necessary. Take plumbing, for instance. Plumbing isn't usually considered glamorous or chic, so people tend to ignore it unless there's a problem with it.

Burgtec was born out of our passion/obsession for downhill racing. As the strap line says - it's a labour of love. The hours that we have collectively spent working and developing Burgtec, doesn't even bear thinking about. Burgtec is famous for their Penthouse Pedals, which are engineered and built in the UK along with their other excellent quality products.
